Systemd Looking At A Future With More Varlink & Less D-Bus For IPC
  • The main reason is that Dbus is not available during early stages of boot. There are many others.

    Varlink seems to be better or the same compared to dbus in all except two things:

    • json doesn't handle 64bit integers, it handles 52bit (or 54bit?) (size of mantissa for floats)
    • you cannot (yet) list all things connected to the bus

    Details here:

  • Official Plasma 6 Breeze UI Refresh Mockups
  • There are some really nice designs here. I really hope that KDE finally gets to pay attention to this. I love simplification of it.

    One thing I don't like here is the login screen. There is too much stuff on it. I think gnome's login screen, as it is now, is fantastic.

    And one more thing, proposal for mindset change: not everything has to be a widget. Some things (like shell) could have layouts: layout as current plasma/windows, layout as gnome, layout as Mac, layout as Win8... If things get well thought out, you can integrate this and switch layouts and not di*k around with widgets. Less moving parts, less problems.

  • Rust in Linux lead retires rather than deal with more “nontechnical nonsense”
  • I think this number is overblown. Production useful doesn't have to mean 1:1.

    Running it without all graphics drivers would be fine for server use. Also, not all filesystems need to be ported: basic ones should be enough for start. But not only servers, home routers run Linux kernel...

    If every OEM starts contributing their drivers in rust, this could move quickly...

  • Why Wayland adoption to have official support in programs is so slow?
  • Why would they put effort into changing something which works for them with the risk of breaking things?

    The sentiment is similar to climate change deniers. Why would we stop with fossil fuels when they work, people have jobs, etc. And why would we risk breaking the power grid?

    And as long as that works for them, they won't actively change anything.

    Wayland on gnome and Ubuntu is already the default. It seems to me you have to actively change the default to x.

    It would be interesting to see in which scenario x is better than wayland. The only reason I can think of is an (old) Nvidia card. With new Nvidia's I guess the statement would otherwise be 'i will not use it until they fix Wayland'

  • which git server for a company?
  • Maybe check how long it is already going, so it can give you some confidence. Forgejo is a fork of gitea, which is a fork of gogs.

    Also, codeberg, a nonprofit from Germany, is supporting development.

    https://docs.codeberg.org/getting-started/what-is-codeberg/

    The codebase history of Forgejo and its predecessors predates Codeberg. However, since 2022, Codeberg is backing the development of Forgejo as an umbrella organization.
